  ABSTRACT: Background: Neonatal obstruction is a partial or total obstruction of the newborn’s digestive tract resulting in an interruption or non-occurrence of intestinal transit. Neonatal obstructions are common and have various causes. We report a case of neonatal obstruction associated with jejunal volvulus with double ileal atresia. Observation: This was a seven-day-old female newborn admitted for lack of meconium passage, early bilious vomiting and abdominal distension. She had hyperthermia and signs of dehydration. The thoracoabdominal radiograph showed a significant pneumoperitoneum. We suspected gastrointestinal perforation. During the procedure, we noted that the jejunal volvulus was complicated by necrosis and perforation and was associated with staged ileal atresia. Conclusion: Neonatal occlusions are common and their causes are multiple; however, the association of jejunal volvulus with ileal atresia is exceptional.
